Facet Jury of Twelve Men With the Utmost Compassion Story as De tailed to Jury Oy Attorneys for State and Defendant. Without the least display of emotion nud with Umt calmness which has characterized her every nctlnn slneo Uio government began Uie. protccti' (Ion of the cane, Nina Trulnve fnciil a Jury of twelve men yesterday, appa rently th" least Interested of any, and with n feeling of ronfldcnrc und hop fulnoiw, listened to the trial storv of the killing of her former in-w. ill King. If In tier nature sho Is suscopt. Iblc to ii feeling of romorsofiilncss. the greatest punishment that liuninn ileih Is heir to, the woman's outward appearance ilid not betray It whon Assistant Prosecuting Attorney .Inmos K. Ilnniplirey told to the jury slowly nnd Impressively the rehitloiiH which had existed between the woman nnd the man whom hIio Is charged with shooting to donth, and what prompted the de 11. According to the statement made Ity tlie prosecution It wan charged that the woman killed King In order to go', even with him because of allowed de sertion. Tho government will nttemp' to prove a slate of facts that will tend to show that tho Truelove woman and King had hail trouble and that friend of KlfTg had been endeavoring to brenk up the relations existing between her and the dorcnsojl: that tho statement wan made that In the event that King tried to null hur she would Will him; that when tho dead man failed to show up an wn his uiiHtom, tlie wo man went out to look for him: that when, sho returned to her Irouso nhe found King there; that a quarrel took. dace nnd that following thU Klim wuh shot. In Ids- statemotit of the case, Col. Stillwell 11. HuHsell, after touching up on the relations between the woman nnd King, strongly maintained that It would be. shown that the killing was mi accident. Col. Humphrey's Statement to the Jury. "Gentlemen of the Jury: Ry permis sion of the court, I will state lo you that this la the 'case wit era the de fendant,. Nlua Truek-ve. is charged wllh tho murder of Will King. Tho defendant clalmx that tlie hIiooTTuk wan dono accidentally, tho kllllnff be ing admitted. Tho oldouce on behalf of the government will show nbout this state of facts: "Will King was patt owner of a hack lino here In Ardmorn. Ills part ner In this busluess was Tom Carter, aud ns you kne w, the uackH here in Ardmore run nlghl and day. Ry agTeo ment of the partners, Will King would go on duty about five or slv o'clock In the afternoon nnd drive the rest of tho night that Ik, until he hail fllled nil the calls he had aud had met tho night trains; and It was the duty of Mr Carter, the other owner, to lake the hack out the next morning ami drive It during tho day "It will develop from the testimony that Will King was n married man and had become Infatuated with tho defendant In this cn.se, who wuh run ning ii spoiling house In tho end part of Ardmore. It noemB that for several montlm prior to this killing it had been the custom of King to meet the trains coming in along about midnight, nnd after Utnt to put up his team unit go down nud ntay wIUi Nina uutil about daylight the next niorolnir. He would then g hnmo and sloop until about nrton, nud ho would then convj to town. In the afti.tnoon nnd p to hor houso and Htay thuro awhile In ttv afternoon. "It will bo ahowu by tho testimony In thin c.ifo that about six week or two mouths prior to t'la kllllug, and pofcalbly iR. oOr timer-, thoy had quarreled, That she had on different occasions thrown thlnsK at him; that they had had a fight. Will came up town ami, (;ol his partner to go down then) nnd fix It up. Thoy went down und she was under tho Influence of liquor, nud was cursing and nitslag a racket. Mr. Oflt rett, the chief of po lice went down thore and .got tier and wan bringing hir up town to lock her up, and,9ho began carting. and calling 1ilm n - -- Mr. Garrett asked liec about whom she was talk-1 ins. and she Informed him that shi had reference to Will King. She ihen began to curse Mr. Garrett. The oUilonce will further show tn.t the friends of King had been trying for some time to get him to brjnk away from this woman." Mr. Russell: "We object to this in- less It Is hown that tho defendant had knowledge of his friend." .bverrtiled by the court. Mr. Itinniihrev: "A shnrt time hi torn this killing. I U.lnk on Saturday evening, aud tho killing was on Mon day at any rate n short time he'rre tlig Killing 1 expect to have a witness iclshow Unit In talking with Mm nrJout Wll! King, the defendant told hlni. the witness, that In the event King lrJf., to quit her, she was going tu-$lll him -this t believe was on Sat- urfav n'pht befoie tho killing.. On tho Stinday night before the killing we exi t to show that King was out with M. (inrreit, the chief of police. nnd did not go .lown and spend the night with th.. defendnut. as was his ,-l.- ii.. w not mere at th house on Monday morning and this killing was nlxiut or f o'clock in the evening, nnd he had not been there Hint day, nud that she thought that he had quit her. Tlmt she went over lo life livery stable where tho hack was kept, looking for him: that he wuh iiM there; that she met Tom Cnrli-r ltu nnHnei- of the deceflsed nud told him (Carter) that she wouM get ev.-n with King If It cost her live hundred, dollars. She inked Carter" whom King wns, Hnd Carter Indicated that he wns at her house. Tho ovl- .lence will show that she. went homo; that King was there: that they hnd somd words, ain als.ut Itve minutes afiHtithls lime the killing occurred, At tlie time of tho kilting the othor glrlsf the Inmate of tlie house, weie (rut In the dining room to dinner: they huard the smashing of crockery and thou kcrenms, nnd rushed iu thero and. found the deceased with n bullet hole through the stomach.

We ex pect to show that the deceased mndo a statement ' to Mr. Hnoch HouchVir, the substance of which la tat tno killing was not accidental. 'I Kb plate ment wan made In tho presence or Mr. Garrett, the girls theio In Iho house, nnd the doctor who had been summoned. Upon this evidence, gen tlemen, we wllj nsk you for n convle tlon." .. ."' . Col. Rusaell for the Oiremlanl. "ow ou a brlrf uttno of waul the testimony In this ciso will be. "It will Im shown by the testimony here that the iW'iid.'nt kept UiIk lrousc In the east part or lown. itiat alio hail kept It for some tlmo. It will be further shown that Will King wis a ninrrlcil man; Hint he had a wlfo nnd one or two children; that ho liv ed In ro In the city. It will be shown by the testimony In this case, both by the wun.mses tor tue . e enso am the Kovernmont. that Will King had for wime tlmo bwn what they term a lover nf Nina's. We expect lo nhow that, notwithstanding the fact that he was a. married man and lived here In town, that ho hnd forti long time kept n woman over there. Then nt tlds very hcisc ho had kept a. woman then, for (Hlonwnih. u,rl hy F. V. Kin a long time. It will h shown that tho UM j deceased got in wnii me nnouunni and sustained thine relations with her.

"In this ease we -expect to proe motive for the evldmco of Carter. Willo he, wns the friend und partner tr King, yet he- sought to enoy Uio enibnices of .tho.deftndnnt In. this cuim. King had Ueu Informed- of this and ho in turn bad Informeil Carter of Uin Itnowlivlgo. Whn. CAiter was told of this he was angry, "It will bo nUown by the testimony, gentlemen of the Jury, not as stated by Mr. Humphrey thai Mr, King was not down there on Sunday night, but we will show by the evidence that he was there on Sunday night, or rather Monday morning; tUat no slept there ns wan lls custom; that about day- Hslit he left, nnd that when ho left he ' requested the tfiJfondariTto come up to the barn that evening ns he wanted to show her a colt.
